You might just be a cruiser if you:
wake up in the middle of the night planning how you and your wife will safely  hoist a 235 pound generator onto your sailboat using only a halyard (main sail line on the boat) and the car
spend more time in West Marine than you do at the grocery store
consider cleaning the boat part of your daily workout
tell people the boat is your “Man Cave”

respond affirmatively when someone says, “Five months on a 40 foot sailboat with your wife. Are you crazy?”
can agree with your friend who comments, “I hope you’re still married when you get home.”
purchase “Marriage Savers” just in case (headsets to cut down on the yelling when anchoring)
have more spare boat parts than your wife has shoes
pay better attention to the chart plotter than you do to your spouse
after training your dog to never ever pee on board, give him a treat when he makes the boat bow yellow
have the UPS man on his daily delivery ask, “What are you doing in there, building a boat?”
have an app on your phone “excuses for running aground”
look forward to showering in a 2 X 2 ft. cubical
         love the sheen of sunscreen
        
Spent last night at North Myrtle Beach and motored sixty-four miles into Wrightsville Beach, North Carolina, today.  Planning a relaxing Mother’s Day at the beach tomorrow which is only a block away from the dinghy dock.
